This display-worthy cutting board showcases the beauty of end-grain maple wood. Made up of sections cut from the inner rings of a tree, the end-grain board boasts a high-contrast mosaic of honeyed wood tones. The construction method is prized by professional chefs as it helps maintain the sharpness of knives. Handles carved into the side of the round board make it easy to lift from countertop to pot—or to pass as a cheese board around a dinner table or party.
